Magic Elevator Trick In "Kiss Me Deadly" (1955) (video)

 


Movies love to fool us...

...into thinking we're seeing what we aren't really seeing. 

In this scene, director Robert Aldrich uses the most basic trick imaginable in order to make us think detective Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) and his friend are waiting for an elevator.

When, in fact, there's no elevator there at all.
